Join us as part of a fun and cathartic city-wide restoration event when we all go out and remove invasive English ivy-- No Ivy Day! Invasive species removal restores wildlife habitat and encourages native species regeneration to prevent erosion and water run-off.
Date: Saturday, November 20th, 2021
Time: 9:00am-12:00pm
Location: North Johnson Lake Trailhead, 9707 NE Colfax St #9705, Portland, OR 97220. Please park along the road on NE Colfax St. We will be removing invasive ivy at the ACME Storage property along the Columbia Slough, but will meet at the North Johnson Lake Trailhead and access the property from there.
This event is rain or shine! We provide gloves, tools, and instructions. Please dress comfortably for the weather, bring water, wear sturdy shoes and long pants, and in case of rain, bring rain gear!
